Nightmare #342: Keep swimming

(Female, 30’s) In this dream I remember swimming along the shoreline near the beach. I tried to leave the water but I had fins and kept getting dragged back into it. I wanted to be back on the land but no matter what I did, the black waters kept pulling me. I remember being frustrated watching my family on the beach cooking out and talking and laughing without me. My grandparents were there too and no one seemed to take notice. But sometimes I would see myself in the water from the beach, but then there came a terrible cry and I was back in the water. This time I saw a fin gliding alongside of me and felt terrified knowing that a shark was gliding beneath the surface. But it didn’t attack. Then I woke up.
